Janet and her label Island/DefJam came to an aggreement to release her from her contract. She has been seeking severance from them since they decided to push back her third urban radio single "LUV" and failed to properly promote the second single "Rock wit U" or the album "Discipline" in general.
Jackson now has the freedom to promote all her music and programming direct, with no ties to a record label to muddle it in legal matters.
Her producing parter Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, has spoken publicly about it on video blog posted on www.rapup.com ."We didn't get the support from the record company," he said. "[Janet] felt like it wasn't pushed. I felt like it wasn't pushed correctly. She just didn't get her just due as an artist of that magnitude." Jerkins noted.
I for one am extremely proud of her for taking this step. I felt that "Discipline" was great and deserved much more promotion, but it's a general trend in the industry right now for labels to be very lazy with their artists.
Go Janet! Two weeks!
